Stone Sword swung his sword, and white alternated with night before him. This was White Night Fist, the only battle technique through which Lu Yin could unleash an attack on Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
Lu Yin believed his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were strong enough to rival the Ten Arbiters. Even if they fell short, the difference was small. He had always been reluctant to use them against Sixth Continent powerhouses at the Domain Progenitor level, because the Sixth Continent specialized in imprints, which were said to train Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
